An intelligent, if non-illuminating, look at an organization.

Never delivers either the thrill of its underworld setting or much insight into its complicated workings.

I kept looking for signs that Young Yakuza was a scripted mockumentary. But eventually I came to believe Limosin's claims, simply because, with all the options fiction provides, no one would deliberately construct so dull and meandering a story.
